Reap what you sow

I think in this socially connected world, we are looking for instant gratification more often than not. When we put in some effort we expect to see results or we are disappointed for ourselves. But that's not usually  how the world works, because Gratification is not a click or a doughnut away (well sometimes). In back in the day when the term "you reap what you sow" was coined. Farmers worked long hard hours, not being able to see their end product. Only when they put in the required amount of hours did they see their end results, and even then sometimes they wouldn't see anything. Life is like rice, sometimes you reap what you sow, other times you just have to go.
